We survey some recent results on the minimal graded free resolution of a square-free monomial ideal. The theme uniting these results is the point-of-view that the generators of a monomial ideal correspond to the maximal faces (the facets)…
Let $R = k[x_1, \dotsc , x_n]$ denote the standard graded polynomial ring over a field $k$. We study certain classes of equigenerated monomial ideals with the property that the so-called complementary ideal has no linear relations on the…
There is a natural epimorphism from the symmetric algebra to the Rees algebra of an ideal. When this epimorphism is an isomorphism, we say that the ideal is of linear type. Given two determinantal rings over a field, we consider the…
Two-dimensional squarefree monomial ideals can be seen as the Stanley-Reisner ideals of graphs. The main results of this paper are combinatorial characterizations for the Cohen-Macaulayness of ordinary and symbolic powers of such an ideal…
The class of equidimensional polymatroidal ideals are studied. In particular, we show that an unmixed polymatroidal ideal is connected in codimension one if and only if it is Cohen-Macaulay. Especially a matroidal ideal is connected in…
Let $I\subset R=K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a square-free monomial ideal, $\mathfrak{q}$ be a prime monomial ideal in $R$, $h$ be a square-free monomial in $R$ with $\mathrm{supp}(h) \cap (\mathrm{supp}(\mathfrak{q}) \cup…
Symmetric strongly shifted ideals are a class of monomial ideals which come equipped with an action of the symmetric group and are analogous to the well-studied class of strongly stable monomial ideals. In this paper we focus on algebraic…
An explicit construction is given of a minimal free resolution of the ideal generated by all squarefree monomials of a given degree. The construction relies upon and exhibits the natural action of the symmetric group on the syzygy modules.…

In this thesis we are interested in describing some homological invariants of certain classes of monomial ideals. We will pay attention to the squarefree and non-squarefree lexsegment ideals.
We give a new combinatorial characterization of the big height of a squarefree monomial ideal leading to a new bound for the projective dimension of a monomial ideal.
Scattered over the past few years have been several occurrences of simplicial complexes whose topological behavior characterize the Cohen-Macaulay property for quotients of polynomial rings by arbitrary (not necessarily squarefree) monomial…
An ideal of polynomials is symmetric if it is closed under permutations of variables. We relate general symmetric ideals to the so called Specht ideals generated by all Specht polynomials of a given shape. We show a connection between the…
Let $I$ be a squarefree monomial ideal of a polynomial ring $S$. In this paper, we prove that the arithmetical rank of $I$ is equal to the projective dimension of $S/I$ when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) $\mu (I) \leq…
The Taylor resolution is almost never minimal for powers of monomial ideals, even in the square-free case. In this paper we introduce a smaller resolution for each power of any square-free monomial ideal, which depends only on the number of…
In this article we prove that every toric ideal associated with a gap-free graph $G$ has a squarefree lexicographic initial ideal. Moreover, in the particular case when the complementary graph of $G$ is chordal (i.e. when the edge ideal of…
Given a square-free monomial ideal $I$, we define a simplicial complex labeled by the generators of $I^2$ which supports a free resolution of $I^2$. As a consequence, we obtain (sharp) upper bounds on the Betti numbers of the second power…
A celebrated theorem of Fr\"oberg gives a complete combinatorial classification of quadratic square-free monomial ideals with a linear resolution. A generalization of this theorem to higher degree square-free monomial ideals is an active…
For an ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring $R$, we introduce and study its conductor as a tool to explore the Rees algebra of $I$. The conductor of $I$ is an ideal $C(I)\subset R$ obtained from the defining ideals of the Rees algebra and the…
We provide a new combinatorial approach to study the minimal free resolutions of edge ideals, that is, quadratic square-free monomial ideals. With this method we can recover most of the known results on resolutions of edge ideals with…
